We stopped here before hiking Big Pines and it was a great experience. Good coffee. I ordered the crunch wrap and it was delicious. We also ordered the bagel pill a parts. Fun. Great service. Everything baked in house in a tiny oven, per the owner. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Stopped by one of the few places open. Cute, clean café and good for a quick stop. We tried their cinnamon roll, but it didn't taste as fresh and the texture was a bit dry, even after warming it up. The frosting was also quite runny. It was fine, but not something we'd go back for. Maybe next time we will try one of their drinks or other pastries read more

Still a five star coffee shop. We make a point to stop by here whenever traveling northbound on the 395 from the Los Angeles area. There is some street parking and also a dirt lot just a bit south of the store. They also have a clean gender neutral restroom for customers. The staff are always friendly even when they have a full house. The full house is a testament to the wonderful espressos and food offerings. I can tell Brewed Awakening is both a local favorite as well as the road trip tourists. I usually order a oatmilk latte and an iced coffee with whipped cream for my husband. We love their coffee. We have ordered food as well but this time we were just in need of coffee. Do yourself a favor and pay Brewed Awakening a visit some time soon! read more

A fantastic little café tucked away but absolutely worth finding! If you're heading out for an early morning hike or a day on the lake, this is the only spot in town open at 5:00 AM to get your fix. Their coffee is top-tier: the "Raging Warrior" with 6 shots of espresso completely hit the spot, and the "Creamy Sierra" the next day was just as good. Grab a breakfast sandwich while you're there; it's delicious. The service is incredibly warm and welcoming. A perfect local spot with great vibe read more

We tried this place for breakfast since it was next to our hotel. Unfortunately, everything we tried was disappointing. Even their homemade cinnamon rolls were dry and tasteless. The lady taking our order was rude and seemed bothered to help customers. read more

They also had local artist items for sale which I wished I got something. read more

great little place where sarcasm is king - had driven by a few times and needed a nosh, so curiosity won - we u-turned and pulled up front - great decor and full service: whether grab to go (fruit, yogurt, bagels, sammy's et al) or order from a tasty menu - we opted to split a breakfast burrito (perfect for two or one if you have big munchies) - it was truly one of the best I've had - bacon, egg, cheese, hash brown and a oniony sweetness that took it over the top - was not rolled traditionally, more oval - as if a burrito got together with a gordita - anyway, it blew us away and they captured my taste buds - service was great the staff top notch - all I know is we have a new stopover whenever traveling 395 - stop by - you'll be glad you did - we'll def be back soon read more

Great place to grab a cup of good coffee while heading down 395. The coffee was piping hot and I had to let it col a little but the flavor was great. I sat on the patio with my dog and enjoyed the view of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Next time I will have to try a sandwich. read more

The turkey sandwich was delicious and the iced tea is better than Starbucks! The place is clean and cutely decorated. Very friendly service.

They have a wide selection of delicious food and drinks to ensure that everyone will find something they love.

Great stop along the trek to Mammoth. They open at 5AM!!! Friendly service and staff. As well as other travelers and CalFire crew en route to work. read more

Great coffee AND gluten free food options?! Suh-woon! The gals working here have fun banter and are super friendly. GF and regular breakfast items galore! My bf loved his burrito better than the biscuit (the biscuit needed something else but was so good), but both were yummy. There is indoor and outdoor seating, games, book, fun stickers (I got one with a raccoon saying "fight me coward) lol), a bathroom, and just a fun vibe. I can't wait to try the lunch! read more

Negatives: Service was extremely slow. Took 30 min for a turkey sandwich with 3 customers total inside the business. Employees could be seen eating while working behind the counter with no urgency to attend the customer. Positives: decor and cleanliness. read more

My favorite stop when passing through Big Pine!! The ladies are always friendly and welcoming. They are always helpful in assisting you when you can't decide which yummy food to get. The coffee is incredible, and the food is just as impressive! It's such a charming spot--with outdoor seating, games, fun items to shop, and just the right amount of sarcasm to keep things lively! read more

This is a nice place to stop if traveling through Big Pine. They will treat you well and the drinks are pretty good! They have a food menu and you can watch them make it for you from pretty much any place in the FOH. The staff are friendly and take their time to make sure your order is right. I will say their WiFi is very slow. It's like I wasn't even connected and still searching for signal. read more

Very cute little bakery with homemade cinnamon rolls and order items. Women and family owned, very friendly. They did have some vegan options including a bagel with guac and veggies. Very tasty. Hubby had a breakfast sandwich and it was super good too. The coffee was amazing, they have full espresso machine so it can't be wrong. read more

We stopped here super early on our way home from Mammoth. The iced americano was amazing as was the breakfast burrito. I would totally recommend this place when passing through. Clean and inviting. The owner was a delight and a crack up. We enjoyed talking to her, she wasn't busy since it was so early in the morning. We will definitely be back again. :) read more

I stopped here on Monday for the first time and was so impressed. I got a dirty chai (super freaking delicious) for the road and a breakfast burrito, as well as two salads to have for lunch later in the week. I just finished eating the Nutty Veggie salad and without any exaggeration, that is hands down the best salad I have ever had in my life. My expectations were a little low since I got it two days ago and had to drive 150+ miles back to my destination, but it was still as fresh as ever! I am going to be dreaming about this salad for the rest of my life. This place will definitely be a permanent stop for me every time I drive the 395. And to the owners: thank you so much for opening this place, if you ever close I will chain myself to your doors. read more

Just stopped in to get a much needed coffee. Signs a mile out and in front so you can actually find it. Courteous service and clean!!!!!

Had a wonderful experience here as we made our way into Inyo for some backpacking with friends. We were greeted as we entered the shop. The menu was inviting: a wide range of coffee & tea drinks along with sandwiches, salads, wraps, etc. We ordered a sandwich that was so delicious and fresh. It has bitch'n sauce in it & we love that stuff! Also the chopped salad was exactly what I needed. It was fresh and shareable. The desserts were tasty! Everyone loved the blueberry cheesecake bar (maybe it was raspberry--either way demolished) we loved the sarcasm from the women helping us out, everything was really lovely. Very clean & tidy space & very welcoming! Would love to return! read more

I came to this little coffee shop both days I was in Big Pine and everything I had was delicious. The staff were so friendly and the whole place was very clean. I highly reccomend this as a stop on your trip. read more

The drinks and food were great. The staff were knowledgeable and patient with questions about food allergies. They were very busy compared to the amount of staff they have but they managed to make it work! We were just driving through but would definitely stop by again. read more

Awful. Not one person knows how to count change. The whole atmosphere was chaos. The owner came in with whining kids. There was no Eye contact or customer service during the whole thing. One of the workers was cussing . Then whe. We finally got our sandwiches they were on stale bread and not that tasty. All in all a bad experience. Won't ever stop here again. read more

The breakfast burrito that was plenty big enough with lots of egg and filling. It was a bit flavorless but after looking back I realized it did not have there chipotle sauce on it, which would explain a lot. The service was friendly and defiantly has a local feel to it. The inside is plain and had a definite coffee shop feel to it. read more

Very nice local coffeehouse! We called in our order and picked it up 20 minutes later. Coffee and food were delicious and hot!

Dear Chasity, I don't generally write reviews, but since you took it upon yourself to respond immediately to my friend's review earlier this morning, I am posting this now. I was in for a "rude awakening" upon visiting your establishment this morning. In brief, my friends and I (a group of 4) waited over 30 minutes for overpriced coffee and microwaved food. I will preface this review by stating that I understand that this is a small business and that we were there on a Saturday morning. That said, I worked in the food service industry for years, including as a server, barista, and bartender. You can be busy and still pay attention to ticket times. These things are not mutually exclusive. We were on a five hour drive through the state, and stumbled upon your establishment looking for a place to grab a quick coffee and bite to eat -- our bad. My boyfriend ordered an iced drink. We confirmed twice that it was to be prepared iced. When we finally received our drinks, 20 minutes later, his was incorrectly prepared hot. I attempted to order a crunch wrap and was informed that you were sold out. Moments later, another customer picked up a carryout crunch wrap. This was disappointing. A couple people in our group ordered biscuits and gravy with bacon. The bacon is equivalent to bacon bits out of a bag. Another person ordered a bagel and opted to add poached eggs. The eggs were not poached; they were microwaved. To add to the chaos, your young nephew pranced back into the kitchen and prep area (a health code violation & safety concern, as well as generally poor etiquette), and your barista prioritized making him a special beverage over tending to your paying customers. The worst part of all, you responded defensively to my friend's review merely one hour after my friend had posted it. Instead of clapping back at your paying customers, you should be doing something to remedy the situation, such as offering an apology and refund. Also, perhaps you should invest in a second microwave if one isn't sufficient. read more

Really loved the whole vibe of this place really cute inside! The Daughter who is an owner was super sweet and welcoming with a very much motherly love kind of vibe. The breakfast burrito was more than enough for me and my boyfriend! Easily could split or eat the whole thing depending on how hungry you are and they came out immediately. I got the italian soda redbull which was perfect. My boyfriend got a coffee and he said it's very good! Overall would stop here again anytime. Thank you! Ps. they had little sweet alley cats in the back lot. look out for them! Be kind read more

The oatmeal is so good it made my day. They have a ton of other good stuff, but I mostly ate the oatmeal.

We planned to have breakfast in Bishop on our way home from mammoth but even on a Monday (10am in June) it our option #1 was way too crowded and option #2 was closed. So, as I drove South, my wife yelped and found Brewed awakening 15 min down the road in Big Pine. What a great find!. Tiny place, 3 customers, nice cool A/C and background music, plenty of clean, open tables, pleasant server/cook. Small but effective menu. They had a picture of a jazzed up stuffed bagel but it wasn't on the menu--no problem. My meat choice was sausage, wife's was bacon. Also inside the bagel: egg, cheese, hash brown (but not too much), and just the right amount of aioli sauce to give a wonderful but not too spicy flavor. The bagel was super fresh (cooked to order) and the prices were 25-50% less than Bishop or Mammoth. This will become our go to breakfast when heading South out of Mammoth. read more

Very friendly owners and employees and the coffee is excellent even better than Starbucks almond milk late. I I order an almond milk late pretty regularly as I am a resident of Big Pine. I have never tried the sandwiches or sweets because I eat a whole food plant based diet, but can attest to the wonderful things their customers say, I highly recommend Brewed Awakening. read more

Friendly service and a delicious bagel, dressed with cream cheese, tomato, and artichoke hearts. read more
